MSA1500
The MSA1500 provides scalability and performance at a
reduced cost with a high return on investment, and with the
ability to manage more data with less staffing and increased
computing infrastructure utilization for better overall system
performance.
Key features of the MSA1500:
• Low cost, highest scalability capacity, supports MSA20
& MSA30
• Both SCSI and SATA drive support
• Easy management
MSA1500 Overview
The HP StorageWorks 1500cs Modular Smart Array (MSA1500) is a Fibre Channel storage area
network (SAN) 2U controller shelf that connects to HP StorageWorks Serial ATA (SATA) and/or SCSI
disk enclosures. They provide customers with a flexible low-cost, high capacity storage solution. The
MSA1500cs has been designed as a hardware foundation for future solutions to ensure maximum
investment protection. The MSA1500cs is perfect for those customers looking for less expensive
storage solutions using HP SATA enclosures to store data that doesn't require a high degree of I/O
performance and/or is viewed as non-mission critical to business operations. The MSA1500cs with
up-to-eight attached SATA enclosures can provide the customer with up to 48 TB (96 - 500 GB SATA
disk drives) of native capacity. If the business needs enterprise-class SCSI reliability then attach up-to-
four SCSI enclosures for a native capacity of 16.8 TB (using 56 - 300 GB SCSI disks).
By using existing SCSI drive enclosures, MSA1000 controller technology, and integrating low cost
SATA hard drives and enclosures, the MSA1500cs lowers the total cost of ownership and protects the
customer's hardware investments.

MSA1000
The MSA1000 is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel entry-level to mid-range
SAN storage system scaleable to 12TB. It is designed to reduce
the complexity, expense and risk of deploying high-performance
shared storage.
Key features of the MSA1000:
• Modular design to grow as the needs demand
• Enterprise-class SCSI storage
• Easy migration of existing drives and data
• Supports two MSA30 per MSA1000 box
• Offers highest level of fault tolerance (RAID 6)
MSA1000 Overview
The HP StorageWorks 1000 Modular Smart Array (MSA1000) is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage
system for the entry-level to midrange storage area network (SAN). It provides the customer with a
low-cost, scalable, high performance storage consolidation system with investment protection. It is
designed to reduce the complexity and risk of SAN deployments. The powerful but easy to use
management software makes it ideal for departmental and remote location SANs. The ability to easily
move most data, disks, and enclosures currently directly attached to Smart Array controllers (DAS) to
a shared storage environment (SAN) will save the user both money and time. With the addition of
two more drive enclosures, it can control up to 42 drives allowing capacity of twelve terabytes. All
configuration, management and partitioning and licensing software come standard with no extra
charges.
HP's exclusive optional embedded 8-port SAN switch or 3-port hub give cost effective and space
saving methods of creating a SAN environment. In addition it is qualified on any of the external B-
series, M-series and C-series FC switches.

document available at
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c001498
49/c00149849.pdf provides information to use the Command Line
Interface. In order to use the CLI interface, a serial connection needs to be
setup to the MSA1000/MSA1500 controller. Refer to the CLI setup section in
the Interface document. Create the LUNs as described in the”Creating LUNs”
section in the Interface document.
Creating LUNs using ACU
The Array Configuration Utility can be used to create the LUNs on a MSA.
This utility is available on a bootable CD that is shipped with

Refer to the SCO Operating System Deployment Guide for OS installation
tips on ProLiant platforms. Update the system with latest Maintenance Pack
for OS. Install the HP ProLiant Extended Feature Supplement for SCO
UnixWare 7 and OpenServer 6 version 7.70A or later.
Driver Software qlc2300 Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Driver Supplement (version 8.0.3) for SCO
OpenServer 6.0.0 is available on the SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 installation
media.
For SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 and SCO UnixWare 7.1.4, use the latest version
of qlc2300 Host Bus Adapter driver available at
http://www.sco.com/support/update/download/release.php?rid=25
Creating HBA Diskette
In order to create HBA diskette from image hba.qlc2300.83a.image,
perform the following steps (applicable for SCO UnixWare 7.1.3/7.1.4
only):
Login as root on a SCO Unix system and perform the following:
$ su
Password: <type your root password>
# mkdir /tmp/hba
# cd /tmp/hba
Download the hba.qlc2300.83a image file to the newly created /tmp/hba
directory on your machine.
Insert a formatted floppy in to the floppy drive and execute the following
command to create qlc2300 diskette from the image file:
# dd if= hba.qlc2300.83a.image of=/dev/dsk/f0t bs=36b
Installation of HBA Drivers
On a SCO UnixWare 7.1.3/7.1.4 system, the qlc2300 diskette can be used
to install/upgrade the qlc2300 driver on your system.
Insert HBA diskette and execute the command:
# pkgadd -d diskette1 all
or
# pkgadd -d diskette1 qlc2300
On SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 system, qlc2300 driver (version 8.0.3) available
on the OS media can be used to install the driver.
Insert SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 OS installation media into the CD-ROM drive
and perform the following:
1. Login as “root”
2. At # prompt, type the following and press ENTER:
# pkgadd –d cdrom1 qlc2300

Identifying Logical Volumes to the
Operating System
To identify the logical volumes configured on MSA1000/MSA1500, login as
root on any SCO Unix system with the MSA1000/MSA1500 attached and
run ”sdiconfig –l”. This command will list all the Host Bus Adapters,
MSA1000/MSA1500 controller and the configured LUNs.
The Qlogic controller, MSA1000 and its LUN’s will be listed as:
C:B,T,L: HBA : (qlc2300,N) QLogic QLA2300
B,T,L: RAID: COMPAQ MSA1000 4.94
B,T,L: DISK: COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.94
Where
‘C’ – the Controller
‘B’ – the Bus
‘T’ – the Target
‘L’ – the Logical Unit Number
‘N’ – the instance assigned by the qlc2300 driver to each HBA
A typical output of this command with the MSA1000 attached:
# sdiconfig -l
0:0,31,0: HBA : (ciss,1) hp ProLiant CISS
0,0,0: DISK : HP LOGICAL VOLUME 2.58
1,31,0: HBA : (ciss,1) hp ProLiant CISS

SCO UnixWare7 ”diskadd” command could be used to add the missing
configured MSA1000 LUNs that are not listed by the ”sdiconfig” command.
Using SCO UnixWare7 ”fdisk” command, one can create and modify the
LUN partition table. Typical usage of this command is:
# fdisk /dev/rdsk/cCbBtTdDs0
Using SCO UnixWare7 ”disksetup” command, the LUNs can be configured
to create and mount the file systems. “disksetup” performs the low level
activities required to install the primary drive or additional drives. The tasks
required for disk setup include surface analysis, that will assist in creating the
18
layout of slices (either through a set of defaults or by asking for details),
writing the pdinfo, VTOC and alternates tables out to the drive, issuing
needed mkfs calls, creating mount points, mounting filesystems, and updating
the /etc/vfstab file. Typical usage of this command is:
# disksetup –Ie /dev/rdsk/cCbBtTdDs0
The intended Controller (C), Bus (B), Target (T) and disk (D) parameters need
to be specified appropriately with this command.
Using SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 “mkdev hd”, one can create filesystems on
MSA1000/MSA1500 LUNs. “mkdev hd” presents a list of disks identified on
the system running SCO OpenServer 6.0.0. Select the disk to configure and
follow the prompts. “mkdev hd” process takes you through “fdisk” program to
create partitions on the selected disk and “divvy” program to create slices
and filesystems on the selected disk.
Limitations
UnixWare 7/OpenServer 6
1. Maximum of two (2) servers per cluster
